  Description

  My husband and I live in the picturesque coastal town of Port Fairy in Victoria.
  This beautiful historic village is situated just 25 minutes from thriving Warrnambool - at the end of the world famous Great Ocean Road.
  We live one block from the magnificent East Beach and have ample, comfortable accommodation for you as a guest (with your own bathroom and living space).
  We have some external painting that needs to be done, so those skills would be great!
  We have a little wire haired dachshund called Minnie, and a cat called Max.
  Our home is an easy walk from the pleasant village of Port Fairy with plenty of amenities.
  If you don't have a vehicle it's easy to get here as there is a train from Melbourne to Warrnambool where we could collect you.
